new brake pad recommendations for a daily driver
Need new pads soon. Any recommendations for a daily driver, OEM or aftermarket? Probably not going to a race track with the car, leaning towards ceramic because I don't want brake dust and they're most quiet.

They are quiet, no brake dust I can see, the only thing to be aware of is that the initial bite when cold will suffer a bit. After you've stepped on the brakes the first time for the day, they have a nice bite.

They are actually more efficient at pulling away heat from other brake components and are typically quieter than semi-metallic. The only driving conditions they don't recommend ceramics for are track cars. . The other reason I switched to ceramic is I would always get squeaks or squealing out of the Escape after trying three different semi-metallic pads and two rotor sets (Motorcraft (pads/rotors), Duralast (Auto Zone) (pads), and Raybestos (pads/rotors)). With my old 00 mustang, I tried one set of OEM's and was done. Straight to Akebono on it too. Never looked back.

Very good experience here with Carbotech 1521's on the Maxima so far (a little over a year and 5000 miles). Very little dust, no noise, and better bite than either OE or Hawk HPS.
G-loc's GS-1 is a similar (if not downright identical) pad.
